The grasshoppers are tossed in chili lime salt and sold for $4 a bowl. Before you judge, know that they are very low in fat, a good source of protein, and probably healthier than anything else you could eat at a stadium.
During the Mariners’ home opener on Monday, the grasshoppers sold out. It seems many fans were eager to try them—or the grasshoppers were so tasty that people couldn’t get enough of them.
